Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,
A chilly day here yesterday, very cloudy too, we didn't get any rain though.
I had one of those 'what to do for the best" moments yesterday, Lucy asked me to refresh her dress for day 2, she has only worn it once, I checked the label and I says "Dry Clean Only" so I had think, then decided to put it a a mesh bag I have for delicates, zipped it up and put it on a wool/ delicate wash, I was panicking the whole time it was on there, I have never counted the minutes down to the machine finishing before. Thank heavens it came out perfect !
My shoes are sorted!! I refused to pay £120 for a pair of Phase Eight shoes, I tried so many others but the colour wasn't right, then I had an Idea, the girls are always buying and selling stuff on Vinted so I went on to look for the shoes there, I saw the perfect pair with a matching bag, but the lady was on holiday until this weekend, so that was a no, I then found another pair and messaged the seller to ask if she could post them so that I get them in time, she agreed and they arrived yesterday, they are just like new and are quite comfortable, which I would hope for £120 shoes!! Luckily I paid about £25 with postage!
I will make final decision on my day 2 dress today, fingers crossed something works.
Today's card is a simple card made using my "Inked & Stamped" stamp set. I stamped the flower in Lost Lagoon ink and used a stitched die to cut it out. I layered it onto matching card and some matching patterned papers. I added some ribbon to the focal piece and added knot. I couldn't make my mind up where to put the sentiment, then I remembered I had vertical ones, so used one of those for a change.
Brenda I'm sorry to hear that you are still in hospital, it's exhausting being in a six bed bay but the people watching can be entertaining! Sounds like you have plenty to keep you occupied, poor John, he must wonder what on earth is going on, I do think that every time ive been in there has been a "Loopy Lil " character (nutty as a fruitcake)! Sending you love and gentle hugs my lovely XXX
I hope that you all have good day,
Love & hugs,
Sandra xxxxxx
